Why can't people pronounce Porsche?

[Amsterdayumn]

I live in a country next to Germany and we call it "Porsch", so there's that

This is the real deal though:

 

[Drake is God]

Make a thread about people pronouncing it wrong, and then proceed to pronounce it wrong when you correct people

Its Porsch-ah, so toss yourself into the same group you're dissing OP

It's not Porsch-eh lol
It's porsch-ah

I've been to Germany and the Germans say Porsch-eh.

The German way to say it would be more like Porsh-eh with the emphasis on the first syllable. It's a German family name, so there is actually a correct way to pronounce it

 

[EARFQUAKE]

No they aren't.

Porsche has two syllables.

I included the word "either"

That means "or"

This is the real deal though:

Based on this video are you saying that the Germans are saying their own word wrong?

You just linked a video of him pronouncing it like Porsche-ah

So you're agreeing with us now?

There is nothing technically correct about saying "porsch"

They are saying porsch-ah in that video too... am I missing something.

eh sound is like = "eh, I don't think that's a good idea"

I'm not hearing a porsch-eh anywhere breh

Here, let me use better phonetics.

Are you hearing "por-shuh" or are you heaing "porsh-eh"

I'm hearing por-shuh

Do you pronounce Germany "Deutschland" or Munich "München"?

If no, then you have no leg to stand on.

I'm hearing por-shuh

Let's go back to secondary school for a moment.

Slowly pronounce the word Por-sheh. Not Porsch, nor Porshe-ah

Even the video discription of that video say Porsche, in German, is pronounced with the subtle "eh", not "uh" at the end.

 

[Rawtid]

Because they can't afford one.

If no, hen you have no leg to stand on.

I'm a Germanophile, so of course.

I bet you googled that as well you limey tosser.

Yes there is and I hope everyone around you continues to pronounce it that way just to bother you

I'll just correct like I do when they say BMW instead BMV or Folks-wagan Volkswagen.

Fine, lets be technical since you want to go there.

The proper phonetic is porsh-ə
the upside down e is called a schwa.

Its a center vowel that does not equate directly to any vowels that we have in the English language. The closest thing would be the sound that the u makes in the word "putt".

I don't see where you're getting the eh sound from breh

I really truly don't
